Sharepoint 2013 - Workflow Help Needed

Sharepoint 2013 Nintex Help - I have a column containing an employee name, as Person/Group type, I need to email this person manager when a record is entered into my list containing. How can I lookup the managers's name by the employee name column and send the manager an email notification of a new entry into the list ?

The Query User Profile action's first field is the User. In there, you insert the user that you have. There is a Properties to retrieve drop down. Select Manager and click Add, then store the result in a Text variable.

This of course assumes that your companies stores the managers in the User Profile.

Yes, it is my profile that I did the test on and I do have the manager field filled in. I retried the workflow with my direct email address (instead of a variable) and it worked so it must be the "assigned to" variable is not coming across.
